The DJ Awards proudly announces the formation of the Grand Jury, a groundbreaking initiative designed to bring greater transparency, and industry expertise to the awards process. This distinguished panel will play a pivotal role in shaping the categories, nominating artists and industry figures and ultimately ensuring The DJ Awards remain truly reflective of the global electronic music scene.
As one of the longest-standing and most prestigious celebrations of electronic music we recognise excellence, The DJ Awards continues to honour the artists, clubs, festivals and industry professionals who shape the global dance music landscape.
To reinforce this commitment, a powerhouse of industry leaders has been assembled for this year. The DJ Awards Grand Jury will ensure a fair and data-driven selection of categories and nominees, provide expert industry insights, reflect current trends and achievements, by incorporating perspectives from a diverse, global panel.
The DJ Awards Grand Jury is composed of representatives from every key sector of the electronic music industry and members are selected based on their affiliation with leading businesses rather than individuals, which reinforces a collective and unbiased perspective.
The panel spans booking agencies, club operators, festival organisers, media, streaming platforms, PR agencies, record labels, and other essential industry institutions.
Each year, The DJ Awards Grand Jury will invite new members, ensuring fresh perspectives and ongoing relevance. The goal is to create a dynamic and respected institution that not only honours excellence but also advocates for the industry’s future.
The DJ Awards Grand Jury marks a new era for the awards, one that prioritises authenticity and expertise and reaffirms The DJ Awards's mission to celebrate the true pioneers, visionaries and game-changers in electronic music.
Stay tuned for the unveiling of nominees, categories and special industry recognitions.
